That looks like one tidily maintained ignore list! I saw that coming ([1], [2]), but didn't communicate my doubts clearly enough and undermined them when I wrote that I'd run into the same issue due to laziness. So I feel some responsibility for your trouble. Your actual use case is not lazy -- it uses the fundamental fact that Git object IDs are practically unique worldwide, without synchronization between repositories, i.e. they form a single flat namespace. 610e2b9240 (blame: validate and peel the object names on the ignore list, 2020-09-24) introduced two changes: Support for peeling tags and rejection of non-commits after peeling. Here's a patch for silently ignoring such non-commits read from a file. René [1] https://public-inbox.org/git/40488753-c179-4ce2-42d0-e57b5b1ec6cd@xxxxxx/ [2] https://public-inbox.org/git/1fa730c4-eaef-2f32-e1b4-716a27ed4646@xxxxxx/ -- >8 -- Subject: [PATCH] blame: silently ignore invalid ignore file objects Since 610e2b9240 (blame: validate and peel the object names on the ignore list, 2020-09-24) git blame reports checks if objects specified with --ignore-rev and in files loaded with --ignore-revs-file and config option blame.ignoreRevsFile are actual objects and dies if they aren't. The intent is to report typos to the user. This also breaks the ability to use a single ignore file for multiple repositories. Typos are presumably less likely in files than on the command line, so alerting is less useful here. Restore that feature by skipping non-commits without dying.
